As with his first birthday, we celebrated with family at our house. It's small, but we made it work. And, when it got too crowded, we just went outside for some play time.
Rhys received many fun presents, but mostly he enjoyed having all of his favorite people in one place. My favorite aspect of the party was the awesome cake that Brian made. Cake creations are one of Brian's hidden talents. Over the years he's made me many delicious and creative cakes and this year Rhys got one too. Given Rhys' love of the outdoors, Brian went with that theme and came up with this:
 |
| The "lake" is blue jello and that's a yellow submarine getting ready to submerge. |
 |
| Still to this day, when Rhys sees the truck that was climbing the mountain he says/sings, "Happy Birthday, Rhys." It's really stinkin' cute. |
 |
| The trees are frosting creations hand-crafted by Brian. |
The other particularly noteworthy part of Rhys' party was the announcement that he is going to be a big brother. Papa helped Rhys unwrap his "Big Brother" t-shirt and it got *awfully* quiet in the room when everyone saw it. We found it pretty funny.
All in all, a most excellent second birthday party.
